My experience with english at the university.

Hello classmates and teacher, today I’m going to talk about my experience learning English at the university.

Since I was studying at school I had problems with English and for that reason, at the university I had to do all the levels of the language.  

I think there are many things to upgrade, especially at the first levels. The first and the second one English levels could count with exercises that could help us to practice the language out of classes

Also I think that for upgrade the way of teaching English at my university it should exist a special classroom conditioned for the English learning process. Besides we could receive Cds and that kind of material to improve the auditory understanding of the language.

In my English class, I still have the problems that I used to have a long time ago. But I think that the new modality of the level four, where I have to record videos from my house, it’s a little bit more comfortable for me.

The opportunity of don’t speak in public, makes me control a little bit better my tensions, even when it’s not that easy for me to speak in English.

I think that in my case, I should take an English class in the future to try to learn again the language from the beginning, because I think that I didn’t learn enough at the university.

That’s why I would like that my classmates could have better conditions to learn language, especially the people like me that used to have problems with English since they were at school.

My view on journalism

At the moment of decide what I will study, I never really think about the importance of journalism or about the role that I could have as a communication professional. The only thing that think at the moment was that my qualities were in order to the career and that there I will find topics of my interest like politics, language, history, etc.

Today my situation is so different, I don’t see the journalism from his description anymore in order of the qualities, technics or knowledge space only. Actually and after four years of career, I learn that the journalism it’s not only learn a technic or convert in a well writing and talking person or also have skills to express yourself. The journalism is the formative base of people that at the moment of writing and talking it has to have conscience of what they communicate goes to other people and the understanding of the message it’s not a personal victory, it’s in group.

I saw this collective dimension disappear a lot of times in the traditional media that look for get audience not for give messages, but for get line and lead on the television reading. In my opinion the good journalist always think in the givens of the message like a way of give conscience to the people to make the social reality better.

At the moment of think about my future as a journalist, I would like to find medias worried about the people more than the economics results about their business. And even I know that this is out of my hands, I think that always I can contribute writing and speaking with a social purpose, giving messages with content and about topics with social interest.

My academic future

Hi teacher and classmates, today I’m going to write about how I would like to continue my studies after graduate me as a journalist from the Universidad de Chile.

I would like a lot perfect me in the art and cultural area, but also the political studies are important for me and a pending task since my short stay at the career of public administration.

When I started my university studies I did it at the Universidad de Santiago de Chile, at the public administration career like I say before, because in that moment I thought that the career had a bigger relation with the politics with what I could experience while I was studying. Then I decided to apply for journalism my actual career because i think that journalism could have that close relation with politics if you have a master or doctorate that give you the specific knowledge.

To connect communication with politics, I would like to do the politic communication master in my actual university.   Even when I know that the ideal would be to know another university and diversify my knowledge, the truth is that the Universidad de Chile have a quality seal guaranteed that makes me know that I’m going to learn what I want.

Also I think that the first complementary studies of my profession has to be in the physical place because even when the technology had been increased a lot, I think that the learning process in the classrooms always is better quality and in the case of this university it has to be at the classroom the way to lean this master.

Another advantage of study the master in political communication at the Universidad de Chile is that after of finish it I could get a studentship to realize doctorate in Spain, because a lot of ex-students of this postgraduate had been benefited with the “Becas Chile” program to perfectionate  in international universities.

My dream job

When I was little around eight years old my dream was become a police woman, I think it’s because the school where I studied was close from a police station so the cops came in and out all day. Also they visited us and gave speeches about their work. I think it’s funny because today that’s one of the jobs that I hate the most.

Actually I would like to have a job that let me develop my mind and my intellectual skills, but also be related with people. I think study journalism can really help me to get a job with that characteristics that blend field job visiting and reporting in different places from the city and the data analysis.

Really my dream job it’s not as a journalist reporting at the streets all my life, I think that is a stage that I have to try but my real skills are closer to the reflections and analysis, that’s why I’m closer to an inside job. I think an ideal job would be writing opinion columns or subjecting to analysis relevant topics more than working with day-to-day news. This preference it’s not because of the salary, even when I want to get enough money to take care of myself, the money it’s not that important for me as being doing what I think I do good.

Anyway I have another interests related to the art and Latin-American culture, that could get together merging culture and journalism,  also make in me travel to know Latinoamérica.  That would be the job of my dreams, getting the art importance, analyzing it and communicating trough the journalism. For that I would like to take more courses related with image and culture industry to prepare myself in a better way in that topic.
